It looks like the mixed reception for the PlayStation 5 demo of Forspoken has succeeded if Square Enix's goal was to receive player feedback ahead of the game's launch.
Forspoken is arguably Square Enix and Luminous Productions' most ambitious project in a long while if not ever. As an entirely new IP with presumably the same kind of budget as a mainline Final Fantasy game, a lot is pinning on Forspoken. So, a demo is an excellent way to send out feelers to a mass audience to find out what else needs tweaking. In that sense, the PS5-only demo of Forspoken is actually a stroke of genius.
According to Forspoken's official account, the developers will use player feedback to make improvements to the game. The changes will include "increased text, button mapping" and fixing the "HDR issues that some players are experiencing."
The changes are evident almost immediately, and we're excited to learn what else Luminous has in store for Forspoken ahead of its launch.
